"Premium Edition" bundles often include statues or plastic weaponry. They're a way for fans to feel closer to the game—and a way for publisher to milk extra money from said fans. And boy does Capcom love milking money!
And with this bundle, Capcom is going to milk a lot of it.
The upcoming Premium Edition for survival horror game Resident Evil 6 comes with a copy of the game, four different RE6 branded tablet covers (a Chris version, a Leon version, a Jake version, and a Secret version), and a Leon leather jacket.
An actual replica of Leon's in-game duds, the jacket comes in small, medium, large, and extra large.
The price for this limited edition bundle? A cool ¥105,000 or US$1,293. The bundle is available through Capcom's online site, e-Capcom. But good news, free shipping!

Good luck selling that, $1000 is a ridiculous amount of dollar to be spending on a game. Think I'll pass.....

[Paprika]

1K for clothes... a bit overkill no? That will be a hard sell even to the die hard fanbase

[Silverpat]

This obviously isn't geared toward the average couch jockey.

[CloudStrife7x]

that is way to much money to spend lol

[Noctis Caelum]

zero sells lol

[voidmage09]

they will be lucky if say even sale half of the box or even 1

[g35]

That's outrageous! I cant believe someone would even think that is remotely a good idea.....

I don't doubt they would actually sell some of those. I can see people with money to blow paying for that.

[actualmanx]

i wonder if my jtag will be able to play that jacket cuz i aint spending that much lol

[Vincent Valentine]

Yeah I'll wait a few months tell its like $50... That's what happened to me, bout the legendary edition for halo reach... went to GameStop a few months later and it was selling for $70.... I pairs over a $150 for the damn thing! Lol

[Noctis Caelum]

odd i feel ur pain i bought that damn batman figure cost me 150 now its worth 80 total waste lol

[Ryudo]

LOL. 1200 bucks, yeah ok. Not going for that CE then that's for sure, until they reduce the price big time.

[Renegade]

Looks like another MW3 Heist will happen just like the one someone posted a whole back hehe.

[TheEternalHate]

That's too much. I strongly believe it will drop in price. It should be around the price of what the special edition consoles cost if it's a real leather jacket

[XajNyne]

Video games......or gaming in general don't consume my life ( like some ) to any near the point where I'd spend that kind of money on any game.

[007sonic]

That's overkill to actually put that much merchandise into ONE game let alone the price. I'm sure most people will be psyched about the stuff it comes with but then double take when they see the price.

my dad has a collection of the batman figurines lol and he got the limited edition for arkham city for $80

[Sirius]

Well the leather jacket would be nice. :P Still there's no way in hell I'd pay $1,000 for it. F That!

[lion727]

thats way to much for a special edition. i hope it comes with a free new system ....

We'll need a crack team of highly trained mercs to pull this off, A genius who can hack into their network to locate, a highly athletic person to hijack the truck, a hardass with a lot of guns, a driver and someone to blame if shit hits the fans

My leather overcoat cost 400 AUD, plus it makes me look like im from the Matrix (or some very seedy type of guy with a beenie on) either way its win-win:)

[shinwg]

I think is good price cause many leather jacket cost over $1000 so is not a bad deal. we have moncler and louis vuitton their price is also very high.

Yeah but for them, your paying for the brand, nothing else.

[shinwg]

yes we paying for the capcom brand too...leon vuitton will make u look cool lol
everything is getting expensive this day

[Yoshihalo]

for a grand it better come with something more than just the jacket and the game. but hey it does have free shipping tho

[MyHeart]

dang! whats that jacket made of? gold?! we better get a RE6 special edition xbox with that too! :048: but i know it'll just be like an art book and a steelbook case for the game or something classic resi stuff XD

[thegutta]

Capcom is fucking out of there minds im guessing there stock room is gonna be full for a while cuz no one is the crazy to spend so much money on such a thing so good luck thieves i mean capcom.

[revsix6]

Capcom, you crazy man! Good luck on selling it though. Might as well throw in all of the other Resident Evil games, when it cost that much, also throw in the console.

[MGRza]

Damn this is ridiculous i enjoy buying Collectors editions and other said editions but this is a bit too much....but i think in the end ill still buy it.

[hamako]

so who's in to do the heist job muahahaha. anyways rich people will probably buy one. but i can guess the sales will be low. very low.

[eviljasonn]

that better be one good jacket for that price. but 4 that amount I think I'll pass on the offer myself.

[reapr03]

you won't see me with that lol

[cunway]

High price for nothing better...

[Swiftus]
